where do I find ZIF socket (28pin) in Canada?? Does anyone know?

thanks.

 

I got mine through Digikey... the 3M Econo-ZIF. I've also ordered from Moates across the border but they send me a big frigging catalogue that cost me $20 in shipping on a $5 order that could have been put in an envelope

 

Moates. They sell the thin ZIF that will fit inside the ECU without having to cut up the cover.

 

yeah moates it's like 10$US of shipping.

I'm trying to find it locally to avoid expensive shipping cost.

 

Like I said... digikey, the 3m econo-zif. Digikey is Canadian, and I'm using that ZIF right now; my brother is using the Moates zif. I used a 40-pin IC socket with long legs and snipped off the extra legs, to space the ZIF upwards above the PA sensor. It cleared the casing just fine; it's quite slim.

3M Econo ZIF gold-plated 28-pin (x2) Part # 3M2803-ND Price Before Tax 17.20 Shipping Cost 8.00 Total Cost 45.37 purchased October 1, 2003 Digikey (www.digikey.ca) shipped through Purolator

That's copied straight from my turbo project.xml file, where I store all my info... that order was for 2 zif's, so it's 2x as expensive as yours would be.
